• Whencookingpastyfood,werecommendsealingthetapterminalontheinsideoftheappliancewitha

Operating the appliance

The auto-preserving cooker is versatile in use, not only for preservation but also for cooking, heating,

heating in water bath, preparing hot beverages, blanching vegetables etc.

Thick food, which tends to scorch, needs to be heated slowly whilst stirring continuously.

Temperature control/Setting the thermostat

Theapplianceisequippedwithaprecisionthermostat(capillarytubethermostat).Thethermostatisinni-

telyvariablefromapprox.30°Cuptotheboilingpoint.Anadditionalthermometerisnotrequired.Theset

temperature will be controlled automatically as follows:

• Onapplianceswithout timer, the set temperature is reached when the pilot lamp glowing during

theheating-upprocessextinguishesforthersttime.Onlyfromthattimewillthepreservingtime

mentioned in the preserving table and cookbooks count down.

• Asforapplianceswith timer this is an automatic function, i. e. when the set temperature is reached

the timer starts counting. Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance will switch off automatically.

Here, the pilot lamp indicates the operation of the appliance irrespectively of the thermostat. In the

“Entsaften”operatingmode,thetimerdoesnotstart.

• Forjuicemakingtheapplianceisequippedwithaspecialoperationmode,whichensurescontinuous

heating. When the cooking process has been completed or needs to be interrupted, reset the

temperature selector to off-position and disconnect the plug.

Notes for cooking

The boiling point of the water varies in accordance with the atmospheric pressure and the altitude of the

location.

Athermostatwithtoohighsettingresultsincontinuousheatingandconsequentlystrongdevelopmentof

steam, loss of water in the appliance and furthermore wasting of energy.

To ﬁ nd the correct setting for boiling on your appliance, simply take the following steps:

1. Turnthetemperatureselectorclockwisetotherighttothemark“Kochen”(cooking)

2. Wait for the water to boil

3. Slowlyturnthetemperatureselectorslightlytotheleftuntilthepilotlampextinguisheson

appliances without timer or until there is an audible switching of the regulator on appliances

with timer. After a short time the regulator will trigger the heating again.

A.) Models without timer

Warning – hazard of injury and burns! During operation, there are hot surface which

mightstillexistafterswitch-off.Pleasekeepthisinmindwhentouchingtheappliance!During

preparation and when lifting the lid, hot steam might escape.

1. Preserving

a. Place the grid insert.

b. Putinpreparedglassjarsorbottles.

c. Fill with water and put lid on.

d. Connect plug to electrical outlet.

e. Select the temperature.

f. Pilot lamp is on, the appliance is heating.

g. Pilot lamp goes out for the ﬁ rst time means that the set temperature is reached, now, the

cooking time begins. The temperature is maintained automatically.

h. Once the cooking procedure is ﬁ nished, reset the temperature selector to off-position and pull

the mains plug.

2. Juice making (juice-extractiontoptypeEA1803isavailableinspecialisedtrade)

a. Fill with at least 6 litres of water.

b. PlaceadapterringandJuiceExtractionTopontheapplianceaccordingtotheinstructions.

c. Placefruitpreparedforjuice-extractioninthefruitbasket.

d. Place lid.

e. Connect plug to the electrical outlet.

f. Settemperatureselectorto‚Entsaften‘(juice-makingmode).

g. Pilot lamp is on, the appliance is heating.

h. Attention:Addwaterpriortoeveryfurtherjuice-makingprocedure.

i. Once the cooking procedure is ﬁ nished, reset the temperature selector to off-position and pull

the mains plug.

B.) Models with timer (fully-automatic preserving cookers)

Warning – hazard of injury and burns! During operation, there are hot surface which

mightstillexistafterswitch-off.Pleasekeepthisinmindwhentouchingtheappliance!During

preparation and when lifting the lid, hot steam might escape.

Thosemodelsareadditionallyequippedwithanelectricsynchronisedtimer,whichmakesitpossiblefor

you to automatically complete the preserving time. This timer has 2 operation modes:

Continuous operation (setting ‘M’)

Turn the knob anti-clockwise to the left.

Duringcontinuousoperation(setting‘M’)thetimerwillnotswitchoffautomatically.Thissettingisrequi-

redforjuicemakingorwhenfoodordrinksshouldbekeptwarmlongerthan2hours.

Automatic operation, time may be set inﬁ nitely from 20 - 120 minutes

Turn the knob clockwise to the right.

For fully-automatic preserving calibrate the temperature selector to the appropriate temperature pursuant

to the preserving table. Then set the timer to the desired preserving time. Now, the automatic preserving

process will begin, with the pilot lamp glowing. Only when the pre-set temperature is reached, the timer

willbesetgoingautomaticallyandcountingdownthepre-settime(i.e.irrespectiveoftheheating-up

time).Theremainingpreservingtimecanbegatheredfromtherotaryswitchanytime.Oncethepreserving

period has elapsed, the appliance will switch off automatically.

Interesting points and hints about preserving

First of all: grandma‘s good old rules for preserving have not been changed! Preserving means sterilising

food without adding any chemical preserving agents. The even heat that is generated kills the germs in

theitemstobepreserved;atthesametimetheresultingvacuumsealsthejarhermeticallyandgerm-free.

Only... the preserving cooker has come a long way since grandma‘s time! Auto-Preserving Cookers make it

a lot easier, and grandma would have been glad to have one!

The preserving process:

• Cleanlinessandthoroughpreparationareimperativeforthesakeoftheshelflife.Fruitandvegetables

shouldbeofgoodquality,freshandripe.

• Washfruitandvegetablesthoroughlyandletthemdry.

• Greenbeansandpeaskeeplongerifyoublanchthembrieyrst.

• Glassjars,cans,bottlesandtheirlidsshouldbewashedcarefullyinhot,soapywater.Thenrinsewith

clear water and place them on a clean cloth until water has run off.

• Checkcontainersforstubbornresiduesanddamage.

• Leavesealsinclearwateruntiltheyareused.

• Donotuseanyporous,damagedorover-stretchedrubberringsorcaps.

• Fillthecontainersupto2cmbelowtherim;whenpreservingpulpyfood(applepureeetc.)leavea

space of 3 to 4 cm below the rim.

• Whenmakingsausagellcontainersonlyto3/4.

• Closecontainerstightlywithscrew-onlids,springclipsorbraces.

• Closebottlesimmediatelyuponcompletionofthesterilisationprocess.
